When it comes to the handling of ties, what objections would there be to
using Eppley's Random Voter Hierarchy (RVH -
http://alumnus.caltech.edu/~seppley/MAM%20procedure%20definition.htm)?
It seems likely that injecting some possible randomness into an
otherwise deterministic method would reduce the potential for strategic
manipulation.
Furthermore, it would make the complete explanation of DMC far similar
then having to explain the six stages after which one still may(?) end
up with an unresolved tie and no predefined way to resolve it.
